Many people prefer to work solely with the keyboard, avoiding the use of a mouse altogether. There are also situations where the mouse breaks or an application doesn’t support keyboard navigation. So what can you do then?

In such cases, you can install an app that enables full mouse control via the keyboard — for example, [**Mousio**](https://apps.apple.com/app/mousio-keyboard-control-mouse/id6746747327).

Once it’s installed, simply double-press the Command key to switch to keyboard control. However, before doing that, I recommend familiarizing yourself with the key mappings within the app. The control scheme is fairly complex, and basic WASD keys won’t be enough for full cursor control.

Additionally, you can customize controls for specific applications to make navigation even easier.
